| My Little Dewey - RIP
My little Dewey passed away yesterday at only 6 months old. When I got him he was the same size as my other baby pig; but as time passed my other piggy grew so much while Dewey remained a runt. The past two Fridays were spent at the small animals vet--he was surprisingly allergic to Cipro and became deathly ill. After I took him back at the first sign of distress he seemed to be getting better. In fact, Saturday into yesterday morning he was better than ever. Although Dewey was clearly born with some mental handicaps and genetic issues, I can't help but second guess my actions and think about the "what ifs". I am especially devastated since he was so young (I had only had him for about 3 months) and had been getting better and better by the day.
My sweet little Dewster (whom my dad always said belonged on the short bus) will forever hold a place in my heart that can never be replaced. I've had animals come and go but Dewey's "special" traits will make him indefinitely unforgettable.
I just can't believe he's gone...  |
